Ohhh nice! I needed this and it works perfectly.. thank you for it.

Donation sent. :)

You didn't say where to send the donation so I used the link from here.. hope that was okay.

[Ap0s7le]

Haha thanks

David actually gets that, my PayPal address can be PM'd upon request.

I'm very glad you liked it!

Thank you :)

[Wenchie]

Oh no! I'm so sorry. David give Casey my donation please. :lol:

[GiveItaGo]

Like the sound of this MOD so I am going to give it a go - I just have a quick query regarding the database alteration.

ALTER TABLE `PLD_LINK` ADD `DISPLAYURL` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ;

- no problem fully understand that one!

INSERT INTO `PLD_CONFIG` (`ID`, `VALUE`) VALUES ('ENABLE_DISPLAYURL', '1');

- Does this mean that the current fields ID & Value require altering to the values in brackets respectively or that additional fields with those values need creating?

If it is the former (which I think it is) how do I alter the value of ID to 'ENABLE_DISPLAYURL' - Do I need to change the 'Type' to i.e. - 'CHAR' or perhaps something else?

Once again any help would be appreciated.

regards

Paul

[GiveItaGo]

Well managed to work it out - The values discussed need to be entered in the 'default settings' of those particular fields. Other than that this was very easy to implement with some excellent instructions.

If you pm/email me with your paypal details I will gladly make a contribution for this mod and thankyou for making this available.

regards

Paul

Hi.
I would like to put this Mod on my directory. I read over the directions and think I can handle all the steps except one -- the first one.

How do I edit SQL ?

I went to my Cpanl and clicked on MySQL. The options are Delete, Check, or Repair.

Do I click on Repair? I want to make sure before I do in case I'm wrong and mess something up.

Oh, can anyone who used this mod verify that your affiliate links for Commission Junction were able to work and you got proper credit.

I'll be happy to make a donation if I can get this to work properly.

Thank you.


#-----[ SQL ]------------------------------------------
# Where 'PLD_' is your table prefix
ALTER TABLE `PLD_LINK` ADD `DISPLAYURL` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ;
INSERT INTO `PLD_CONFIG` (`ID`, `VALUE`) VALUES ('ENABLE_DISPLAYURL', '1');
#

[Ap0s7le]

Hello melaniejk,

Once in the MySQL part of CPanel, look for "phpMyAdmin"
When you get there, on the left use the dropdown to find your table, then when it loads on the right, hit "SQL" and it will show a big textarea to add that part in.

If you have any questions, or need help feel free to contact me personally.

Kind Regards,

-Casey

[melaniejk]

Anyone online available to help right now?

I just need help on the phpMyAdmin step.

[melaniejk]

Hi. I'm stuck in the phpMyAdmin area.
I think I'm supposed to paste the following in a white box.
Do I paste it exactly?

ALTER TABLE `PLD_LINK` ADD `DISPLAYURL` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ;
INSERT INTO `PLD_CONFIG` (`ID`, `VALUE`) VALUES ('ENABLE_DISPLAYURL', '1');


The box already has text in it. So, I'm thinking I should delete it.
But, then how do I add this. Do I click on Insert.

I don't want to make a mistake and mess things up. So, I'm waiting for a thumbs up.

[David]

Defintely backup your database first.
Then yes, replace what is in the box with this.

[melaniejk]

Ok, thanks.
I figured out the problem.

I needed to click on the GO button after pasting that stuff in the white box.

Thanks for the MOD Casey.

Looks like I got it to work in 3.0.2

I will gladly drop few bucks your way - give me your PayPal e-mail.

I have a question:
What needs to be changed to enable "display URL" field in "Submit link" template and database to store this info. This way when somebody submits new link they could submit both - actual url and display url. If I understand correct - right now "display URL" can be entered only from admin interface?

Thanks
P.S. I was serious about PayPal address.

Casey,

Any chance to see update for version 3.0?
I tried to modify detailed listing page myself but with no luck...

Could you... Please...

[jeeplaw]

Does anyone have this working for 3.0.4?

[Steven Myers]

LOVE this mod, thank you so much for making it, I'll donate in a few days!

[jeeplaw]

Can anyone cofirm that this works for 3.0.4? I'm sort of hesitant in implementing this if there's a chance it might not work..

[Neticus]

This works on 3.04, however it dosen't transalate to the 'more details' page.

You could always remove

<span class="url"> - {$URL|escape|trim}</span> (the bit that does http://www.domain.com}

from the details.tpl

If I figure out how to transalate it to details.tpl I'll post it.
(This is in amateur non-coder time, not proffessional Know-what-to-look-for time) :)

Anyone else is welcome to give this a bash.

[Optimit]

I was not able to make this work on 3.04...

Anyone want to try and update it?

[Neticus]

I successfully applied this to v304 without any modifications. Did as it said on the box;

The display URL shows next to the TITLE, when hovered the TITLE shows display url but when clicked goes to
actual url.

Like I said the only incompatibility with v3series is it dosen't transalate to 'more details' page. So yes I suppose it does need to be updated. Hopefully it will be considered as worthwhile integrating it into phpld default.....hopefully..:)

[bobby9101]

I got this working on 3.0.5 for optimit (actually it might have been 3.0.4 I am not sure)
i had to make a couple small changes to get it to work.
I didn't look deeply into the details page problem though

[Optimit]

It was 3.04. Thanks for the help.

[donholloway]

I"m trying to use this with 3.0.5 and think I did everything properly up until.

I don't have the

So I just stuck the "add line under it.

I suspect this might be wrong. Anyway, I don't see any display URL anywhere in my admin section.

Can anyone help?

Don

[donholloway]

I wanted to post a belated Thank You to Bobby9101 who helped me make it work on 3.0.5. It's working great, although it is making me revisit the Alexa thumbnail thing. I can live with the "real URL" in the detail listing, but it winds up showing an Alexa thumbnail for the wrong URL.

I'm going to be changing over to 3.0.6 (I really want the multi-language support for end-users) so will keep my fingers crossed that the mod will still work.

[bobby9101]

i can show you how to do that

[regg]

I have the Mod tested on 3.06. But the Detail site is not working. Can you help me ?

[Ap0s7le]

Ah, nice to see this is still usable in some cases.

Thanks everyone.

-Casey

[David]

And great to see you are still around. :)

[regg]

I have the Mod tested on 3.06. But the Detail site is not working. Can you help me ?

[regg]

None? The Mod is very interesting. Thanks

[dynn]

do you any example to show this mod?

[iamnewbies]

Very very good I MOD. success

my advice if possible may be have mod. ready package for newbies can be useful Thank you

[iamnewbies]

PROBLEM
sorry, I don't understand
what link affiliate may be place at URL: box or Display URL: box
I using affiliate at URL: box is right or not

but, I have problem with pagerank update, script update using affiliate link for check pagerank

[h4fr]

I just insert this mod in my directory 3.06.

It works fine. I just have to make a few change in the link.tpl to make it work. Another thing which has changed, it is the path of the files in the template directory.

I changed also detail.tpl, using the same syntax that in link.tpl but it doesn't work. It looks like that the new value "DISPLAYURL" is not known / declare in this template.

Has somebody an idea how to declare this value in detail.tpl ?

If you want to, I can make, well at least try to make, an update of this module for 3.06.

[h4fr]

Well, there is the need to add a line in the file : detail.php

$data['DISPLAYURL'] = $rdata['DISPLAYURL'];

It catch the good URL from the DB.

Now, let's find how detail.tpl can use this information. I guess that I have to declare this information somewhere else !

[h4fr]

Well, in fact, there is no problem with the change of URL by DISPLAYURL in the detail.tpl.

The problem is when I changed the following line :
{if $smarty.const.ENABLE_BLANK} target="_blank"{/if}>
by
{if $smarty.const.ENABLE_BLANK} target="_BLANK"{/if}{if $smarty.const.ENABLE_DISPLAYURL} onMouseOver="self.status='{if $link.DISPLAYURL ne ''}{$link.DISPLAYURL}{else}{$link.URL}{/if}'; return true" onMouseOut="self.status=''; return true"{/if}>

And the following line :
<span class="url">&raquo; {$URL|escape|trim}</span>
by :
<span class="url">&raquo; {if $smarty.const.ENABLE_DISPLAYURL and $link.DISPLAYURL ne ''}{$link.DISPLAYURL|escape|trim}{else}{$link.URL| escape|trim}{/if}</span>

It stops to catch the values URL and DISPLAYURL.

The most surprising is that the change of those 2 lines work one the link.tpl but not on detail.tpl !

Did I missed something ?

[amatas]

Has this mod been re-worked for 3.1?

[gtp2]

I would really like to have this mod installed, but somewhere along the line I never got past /admin/init.php
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
# Blank Window option
array('ID' => 'ENABLE_BLANK',

doesnt exist ?
Anyone around here to help?

[James]

can you do an install for a fee? please hit me up icq 226824731 or bodyartwebmaster on yahoo

[solidghost]

What does this mod actually do?

[26global]

It looks like it allows you to post affiliate links in your directory that actually are hidden so instead of your affiliate link it shows the site it redirects to.

Is anyone available to install this mod for me on my directory? I'd like it to work with 3.1. Let me know how much it would cost. Email me at:

nuvrudesign {a} gmail.com

Thanks,

Jeff

[dgparent]

I would love to have this installed as well if anyone cares to try please pm me price thanks

[dwnet]

Thank you.
Very usefull mod. I'll try to install it.

[tomn]

does anyone have a working version of this mod for the latest PHPlinkdirectory?

[James]

If You read the thread totally you will see the changes needed for it to work in 3.2 ....

[kenvin]

I'd really like to use this mod. I'm new to the php thing but making progress. I did backup my site but I'm not sure how to do the sql changes.

I went to my data base and opened php_link and sql. At this point what do I put in the blank box? do I past the whole thing? ALTER TABLE `PLD_LINK` ADD `DISPLAYURL` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ;
INSERT INTO `PLD_CONFIG` (`ID`, `VALUE`) VALUES ('ENABLE_DISPLAYURL', '1');
Or do I past the first part then go to the PLD_CONFIG and paste the second part to PLD_CONFIG? Please let me know. Please be very specific. I'm really dumb but I'm learning. Thanks.:)

[kenvin]

Come on somebody has an answer. I read this tread and am still not sure what to do. I'm not sure how to alter and insert info. to my tables.

[kenvin]

Is anybody reading the thread that can help me. I know its and old thread but I would really like to use this mod. I pm'ed the author but still no reply. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.

[shadav]

sorry but i've not used this mod...but also don't quite understand your question....what do you mean by tables? tables.php? or database tables?

[kenvin]

I didn't ask anything about tables. I'm trying to follow the instructions in the blue box. The first instruction is for sql. I'm asking if I should dump whole thing;

ALTER TABLE `PLD_LINK` ADD `DISPLAYURL` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ;
INSERT INTO `PLD_CONFIG` (`ID`, `VALUE`) VALUES ('ENABLE_DISPLAYURL', '1');

in mysqladmin PLD_link or do I put;

ALTER TABLE `PLD_LINK` ADD `DISPLAYURL` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ;

in PLD_LINK and

INSERT INTO `PLD_CONFIG` (`ID`, `VALUE`) VALUES ('ENABLE_DISPLAYURL', '1');

in PLD_Config

or none of the above? Any Ideas? If none of the above, how would you do this?

[James]

use phpmyadmin



and you really need to go back and read your posts you sure did mention tables...


"Come on somebody has an answer. I read this tread and am still not sure what to do. I'm not sure how to alter and insert info. to my tables."

[kenvin]

Sorry, I guess I did. Please disregard the tables question. But hopefully I fully explained my question between my first and last post. Hopefully somebody has an answer. There were several people at the beginning of this thread that said it worked but they didn't really explain how they did it. After that, a bunch of ver. 3'ers were asking questions on how to make it work with ver. 3. The thread went off on a tangent and I'm still not sure I understand the 1st instruction.

Just paste the whole command in there, there is no need for 2 different commands to be entered.

Always make sure you back up your sql before anything is done though.

if you still need help feel free to pm me your url to your site, admin info, ftp info and cpanel info

I should have some time today to do this...but as stated make a backup of your site first, I can not promise it will work, I've not even looked at this mod and haven't tried to install it before
honestly i'm really not even sure what the heck this mod is for :D forgive my stupidity lol
ok after somewhat reading through posts, i think i get it...not sure if i agree with it...I get for referral links but I could see this being easily abused....

[kenvin]

Thanks for the info. mmatoday, That's kind of what I was guessing but I just wanted anouther oppinion. I'm going to try it this weekend. Thanks for the offer Shadav but I think I can get this done, hopefully. I think I'll like this mod because, I have a lot of affiliates that have really long urls and I think this help the ad look better.

[James]

just installed on another 3.2 with little problem ;)

[kenvin]

:DWith great courage;:eek:I went into to great unknown, keep in mind I'm a newbie, said a few prayers and WOW it works:D. I'm going to go celebrate:cool: This is really cool. Thanks

[kenvin]

I discovered a problem. If you use the display url with an affiliate url as the url, the thumbnail image will not work. Is there a work around for that problem?

[James]

works fine you just have to set it it up right. I have installed the existing FREE mod and it works fine. I will prepare step by step instructions in the coming days and will post it here.

[James]

Here is the code for link.tpl


<img src="htxp://msnsearch.srv.girafa.com/srv/i?s=MSNSEARCH&r={if $smarty.const.ENABLE_DISPLAYURL and $link.DISPLAYURL ne ''}{$link.DISPLAYURL|escape}{else}{$link.URL|escap e}{/if}" alt="{$link.TITLE|escape}" width="120" height="80" border="1">


for detail.tpl :

<img src="htxp://msnsearch.srv.girafa.com/srv/i?s=MSNSEARCH&r={if $smarty.const.ENABLE_DISPLAYURL and $DISPLAYURL ne ''}{$DISPLAYURL|escape}{else}{$URL|escape}{/if}" alt="{$TITLE|escape}" width="120" height="80" border="1">

[kenvin]

If I add this code and use my affiliate url. Will it display the thumbnail correctly? or will I get the preview not available thumbnail. This is the problem I'm having. Is this a fix to that problem? Thanks.

[James]

Try it and see ;)

yes it shows the display url for the thumbnail.

[kenvin]

Thanks I'm going to try it.

[kenvin]

Didn't work got this error...

Fatal error: Smarty error: [in link.tpl line 11]: [plugin] modifier 'escap' is not implemented (core.load_plugins.php, line 118) in /home/www/aokdirectory.com/libs/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

Also I never quit programming, I actually moved and I'm the lead developer for a company in Washington. Been there for a few years now. I forgot all about this stuff, I came back by seeing one of David's post on Sitepoint. I was surfing it out of boredom as I laid in bed from being sick haha! I'm glad I did. I need to look into the new software, see what's been done.
